It will be interesting to see how Bandt works with no power and little voice for the next few years sitting next to Clive Palmer He'll be lucky to get a word in. However, he appears to have the best ground game in Australian politics. What he achieved was f**king impressive. You'd have to back him ...

I think I preferred the nutjobs from the left.... :uhoh: You won't see the Greens suggesting that teachers should have guns anyway. I'm sensing a swing to the left from the Third Way. This election could be the best thing that's happened to the Australian left in a long time. Agree. They lost 30% o...

Towny, how am I going to get your address? You have a bottle of wine coming your way as per our deal. I don't really want to put my email address up on here, perhaps you could contact me through Moderators Enz or Hong Kong? :lol: I remember the first bit, but was it at hotmail.com or yahoo.com.au ?...

Is the sun shining a little bit brighter today? Something's different..... I can't put my finger on it. What is that feeling? Hope? Is that what it could be? Hope has returned at long last?

The Greens lost, what, 2% of their primary vote? Given Bob Brown retired, and they chose to elect Milne in his place it's hardly surprising. . It appears the Greens lost 25% of their primary vote. That's huge, HUGE, HUGE The Palmer Party is rivaling them as the 'third' party. Only dodgy preference ...

I know two people who are happy Abbott has been elected. One is a creationist, the other is a Catholic who speaks with an American accent for reasons best known to himself. Were they former Green voters? I know loads of others who are happy that the ALP are gone. They were simply hated by so many. ...

I'm not sure where the Greens' vote disappeared to. It obviously didn't go to the ALP. Palmer got a spike as did the Libs. Is it possible that hundreds of thousands of Greens realised that being a hippy/commie/joke-shop isn't the way and that business, rather than Govt, drives the good times? But th...

There's a lot of pain on this thread. A lot of teary, lashing-out, how-could-he-do-this type pain. And that's sad. But there's a lot of happiness on here also. National happiness. So that's good. Happiness? I think most of Australia is just relieved. But I could be wrong. It could be elation. It's ...

Abbott won't actually follow through on his god awful policies will he? I mean, he can't. Nah, I don't reckon he will. His dream is to be PM for many years I reckon. He probably won't rock the boat too much, let alone buy any. I tried to think of a single stupider policy than buying boats earlier, ...

I'm in the Third Way, mate. We don't buy into the political serfdom that the 'dyed in the wool' / 'true believers' so blindly do.

Let's talk about Nick Xenophon. If the ALP hadn't preferenced the Libs :shock: Xenophon would have won 2 senate seats. :thumbup: Looking forward to what he can do.

Calling this a landslide just highlights the major flaw in Australia's election system (disproportionality) Yes the Coalition won a lot of seats, but they didn't get that much support from voters. A party that wins only 45% of votes shouldn't get 60% of the seats. And really for the Greens to get 8...

In Vic, one of the 6 senators is from the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party, which polled 0.52% of the primary vote.

fudge, how close must the Pirate Party have gone. What a great result that would have been!!

I'm not sure that's evidence of history. It's evidence of culture and anthropology. But most definitions of history centre around a narrative of events. Without a written language it's hard to argue that Australia has a 40,000 year history. That's a nice point, and well made, but I doubt it was the...

Yep it does. I have an EU passport. I'm a European and I can work or live any where in the EU indefinitely. my wife is Swedish and so I can too. But the wages are shit and there isn't much going on.... I'd prefer to move to a booming region, not one on the wane.... You'd say no to contractor daily ...
